This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of exchange rate regimes on bilateral trade while differentiating the effects of "words" and "deeds". Our findings-based on an extended database for de jure and de facto exchange rate classifications-show that while fixed exchange rate regimes increase trade, there is no systematic difference in the effects of policy announcements versus actions to maintain exchange rate stability. The trade generating effect of more stable exchange rate regimes is however more pronounced when words and actions are aligned, both in the short and long-run. Policy credibility therefore plays an important role in determining the effects of de jure and de facto exchange rate arrangements such that deviations between the two could be costly. In addition, we find evidence that (i) the impact of hard pegs such as currency unions is broadly similar to that of conventional pegs; (ii) the currency union and direct peg effects evolve over time; and (iii) the effects of more stable regimes are heterogeneous across country groups.

Book Synopsis Exchange Rate Regimes by : Atish R. Ghosh
Download or read book Exchange Rate Regimes written by Atish R. Ghosh and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An empirical study of exchange rate regimes based on data compiled from 150 member countries of the International Monetary Fund over the past thirty years. Few topics in international economics are as controversial as the choice of an exchange rate regime. Since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s, countries have adopted a wide variety of regimes, ranging from pure floats at one extreme to currency boards and dollarization at the other. While a vast theoretical literature explores the choice and consequences of exchange rate regimes, the abundance of possible effects makes it difficult to establish clear relationships between regimes and common macroeconomic policy targets such as inflation and growth. This book takes a systematic look at the evidence on macroeconomic performance under alternative exchange rate regimes, drawing on the experience of some 150 member countries of the International Monetary Fund over the past thirty years. Among other questions, it asks whether pegging the exchange rate leads to lower inflation, whether floating exchange rates are associated with faster output growth, and whether pegged regimes are particularly prone to currency and other crises. The book draws on history and theory to delineate the debate and on standard statistical methods to assess the empirical evidence, and includes a CD-ROM containing the data set used.
Book Synopsis Capital Mobility, Exchange Rate Regimes and Currency Crises by : Juthathip Jongwanich
Download or read book Capital Mobility, Exchange Rate Regimes and Currency Crises written by Juthathip Jongwanich and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the determinants of real exchange rates (RERs), with an emphasis on the roles of a pegged exchange rate regime and capital account opening in driving the persistent real exchange rates appreciation in the lead-up to the 1997 currency crisis, through an in-depth case study of Thailand. The book aims to inform the debate, rekindled by the recent currency crises in emerging market economies, on exchange rate policy choice and the timing and sequencing of capital account opening.
Download or read book Too Sensational written by W. Max Corden and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-08-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the literature on exchange rate regimes has focused on the developed countries. Since the recent crises in emerging markets, however, attention has shifted to the choice of exchange rate regimes for developing countries, especially those that are more integrated into the world capital markets. In Too Sensational, W. Max Corden presents a systematic and accessible overview of the choice of exchange rate regimes. Reviewing many types of regimes, he shows how the choice of an exchange rate regime is related to both fiscal policy and trade policy. Building on the theory of optimum currency areas, Corden develops an analytic framework of three approaches (nominal anchor, real targets, and exchange rate stability) and three polar exchange rate regimes (absolutely fixed, pure floating, and fixed but adjustable). He considers all other regimes to be mixtures of two or three of the polar regimes. Beginning with theory and later turning to case studies of countries in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, Corden focuses on how economies react to negative and positive shocks under various exchange rate regimes. He examines in particular the Asian and Latin American currency crises of the 1990s. He concludes that although "too sensational" crises have discredited fixed but adjustable regimes, the extremes of absolutely fixed regimes or pure floating regimes need not be chosen.
Book Synopsis Evolution and Performance of Exchange Rate Regimes by : Mr.Kenneth Rogoff
Download or read book Evolution and Performance of Exchange Rate Regimes written by Mr.Kenneth Rogoff and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using recent advances in the classification of exchange rate regimes, this paper finds no support for the popular bipolar view that countries will tend over time to move to the polar extremes of free float or rigid peg. Rather, intermediate regimes have shown remarkable durability. The analysis suggests that as economies mature, the value of exchange rate flexibility rises. For countries at a relatively early stage of financial development and integration, fixed or relatively rigid regimes appear to offer some anti-inflation credibility gain without compromising growth objectives. As countries develop economically and institutionally, there appear to be considerable benefits to more flexible regimes. For developed countries that are not in a currency union, relatively flexible exchange rate regimes appear to offer higher growth without any cost in credibility.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Foreign Exchange and Global Finance by : Peijie Wang
Download or read book The Economics of Foreign Exchange and Global Finance written by Peijie Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents all major subjects in international monetary theory, foreign exchange markets, international financial management and investment analysis. The book is relevant to real world problems in the sense that it provides guidance on how to solve policy issues as well as practical management tasks. This in turn helps the reader to gain an understanding of the theory and refines the framework. Various topics are interlinked so the book adopts a systematic treatment of integrated materials relating different theories under various circumstances and combining theory with practice. The text examines issues in international monetary policy and financial management in a practical way, focusing on the identification of the factors and players in foreign exchange markets and the international finance arena. The book can be used in graduate and advanced undergraduate programmes in international or global finance, international monetary economics, and international financial management.
Book Synopsis Balance of Payments by : Robert Stern
Download or read book Balance of Payments written by Robert Stern and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original and systematic synthesis of the major postwar developments in theory and policy of balance-of-payments adjustment, this book focuses on the present-day system of pegged-but-adjustable exchange rates and the problems that policy authorities must face if they are to attain full employment, price stability, balance-of-payments equilibrium, and a satisfactory rate of economic growth. The dominate theme of this book is that any system of exchange rates carries with it assumptions about the way it works and how effective the automatic and policy-motivated forces operate to bring about equilibrium in a country's balance of payments. By analyzing balance-of-payments adjustment and policies under alternative exchange-rate systems, and with different assumptions concerning the level of employment and prices, it is possible to embrace a wide variety of contemporary and historical circumstances experienced by individual countries and the world as a whole. In this way the author assesses the economic consequences of the different exchange-rate systems and of the policies that countries may follow to attain their national objectives. In particular it appears to Professor Stern that the international monetary turmoil of the past ten years can be traced to the exchange-rate inflexibilities of the adjustable-peg system and to the creation of excessive reserves under the dollar standard. He demonstrates that the international monetary system must be redesigned to permit greater exchange-rate inflexibility and control over the creation of new international reserve assets.

Book Synopsis The Theory of International Values by : Rajas Parchure
Download or read book The Theory of International Values written by Rajas Parchure and published by New Age International. This book was released on 1994 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any Survey Of International Economics Inevitably Reveals That All The Significant Developments In The Theory Have Been Directly Prompted By The Needs Of Practical Policy. Consider As Quick Illustrations The Nationalistic Fervour Of The Mercantilists, Friedrich List And Everyday Policy-Makers All Over The World, The Liberal Free-Trade Concerns Of David Hume, Adam Smith, David Ricardo And John Stuart Mill, The Fears Of Imperialist Exploitation In The Works Of V.I. Lenin, Rosa Luxembourg, Dadabhai Nowrosjee And Centreperiphery Theorists, The Need For International Co-Operation To Suppress The Relapse Of Parochial Nationalism In The Works Of J.M. Keynes, E.M. Berstein, Harry Dexter White, Folk Hilgerdt And Gunnar Myrdal, The Effects Of Exchange Rate Policy On Trade Balance In Alfred Marshall, Abba Lemer, Joan Robinson, Sidney Alexander And Several Others, The Consequences Of International Growth And Technical Changes For National Welfare In John Hicks, Harry Johnson, Jagdish Bhagwati, Raul Prebisch And A Generation Of Scholars. The Examples Can Be Multiplied.One Would Have Expected That A Theory Whose Main Developments Have Been Stimulated By Real-World Concerns, Would, Over The Course Of Decades And Centuries, Develop Into A Virulent Instrument For Understanding And Solving New Problems That Continually Arise In, Or On Account Of, International Changes. But Witness, Alas, How Pitiably The Theory Itself, In Its Strange Obsession Over 2X2X2 Models Compares With The Rapidly Changing Complexity Of Multilateral Trade. This Is Not To Say That No Work Has Been Done To Fill Up The Backlog. Frank D. Graham, Lionel Mckenzie, Ronald Jones, Jacob Mosak, Paul Samuelson, Lloyd Metzler, John Chipman And Others Have Made Important Contributions Here. There Is, Besides, Considerable Empirical Work And The Compilation Of A Truly Astounding Data Base On Multicountry Transactions By The International Institutions. It Is Then All The More Unfortunate That The Conceptual Work Which Can Have An Interpretative Bearing On This Database Should All But Remain In Theunderworld Of Footnotes.The Lag Of Theory Behind Reality Is Perhaps More Glaring In This As Compared To Other Branches Of Economics. Every Effort To Bridge It Is Not Just Welcome, It Is Urgent. The Future Of Global Understanding And Co-Operation May Lie In These Endeavours.The Theory Of International Values Is An Attempt Towards Closing This Gap. It Deals With Three Themes That Have Been Somewhat Neglected Or At Any Rate Are Unevenly Developed.Firstly It Attempts To Formulate A Theory Of Multicountry Multicommodity Trade. Secondly, It Allows Capital Goods To Be Traded Thus Integrating The Models Of Growth And Distribution With Models Of Trade. Thirdly, It Proposes A New Model Of Exchange Rate Determination Which Is Based On Market Clearing.The Book Should Be Of Considerable Interest To: * Economists Working In International Economics. * Econometricians Engaged In Multicountry Modelling. * Finance Specialists Engaged In Exchange Rate Forecasting And * Students Of International Economics And Finance.Although The Treatment Is Advanced The Contents Can Followed By Students Having``Subsistence Knowledge`` Of Simultaneous Equations. In Any Case All Mathematical Exercises Have Been Amply Illustrated By Constructive Numerical Examples.

Book Synopsis Noise Trading and Exchange Rate Regimes by : Olivier Jeanne
Download or read book Noise Trading and Exchange Rate Regimes written by Olivier Jeanne and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the literature and new empirical evidence show that exchange rate regimes differ primarily by the noisiness of the exchange rate, not be measurable macroeconomic fundamentals. This motivates a theoretical analysis of exchange rate regimes with noise traders. The presence of noise traders can lead to multiple equilibria in the foreign exchange market. The entry of noise traders both create and share the risk associated with exchange rate volatility. In such circumstances, monetary policy can be used to lower exchange rate volatility without altering macroeconomic fundamentals.

Book Synopsis The Monetary Approach to the Balance of Payments by : Jacob Frenkel
Download or read book The Monetary Approach to the Balance of Payments written by Jacob Frenkel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects together the basic documents of an approach to the theory and policy of the balance of payments developed in the 1970s. The approach marked a return to the historical traditions of international monetary theory after some thirty years of departure from them – a departure occasioned by the international collapse of the 1930s, the Keynesian Revolution and a long period of war and post-war reconstruction in which the international monetary system was fragmented by exchange controls, currency inconvertibility and controls over international trade and capital movements.
